Nycfc just signed up my favorite USA international Mix Diskerud. I know I said previously that I wouldn't support them and abandon the Union,but they just found the secret passage to my heart.
Really hoping we give him the ole Lampard treatment and bring him to city even if it's only during the MLS offseason.

I wonder if the new NYCFC fans will revolt over this signing?

Nice headline would be "NYCFC fans are revolting".

Nice touch but if that were the UK media it would be 'Revolting MCFC'.

honestly, i'd encourage a bit of calm about so-called nycfc "fans."
it is fair to say sport supporters for new york professional sport "teams" have a reputation for arrogance and entitlement, but that tends to be a small but loud group in the area.
as a native nyer i can say that this is no where near the case with most, and with the mls, as i believe someone alluded too (doomie?) they have a "die hard" base who project insecurity about european leagues. klinsmann is dealing with this reality as he repeats concerns about the best american players coming back to the mls rather than playing abroad.
the league has gotten much better, as has the support, but of course it's below the top european leagues in terms of its quality.
i do think city and nycfc handled this poorly and i do find it hard to believe they just made a "mistake" regarding the announcement. however, it is normal for "designated players" to come in july, if that happens, and even more normal for a player of lampard's quality to want to play for a club that is competing at a higher level if that option is available.
my guess is that was not the case over the summer, or they fully expected him to sign for nycfc, loan to city and then "see what happens," with the more likely answer being it all works as a loan. yet, lampard has been important to us this year and maybe even next, so he decides to stay.
in the end, who knows, but i can understand some nycfc "supporters" who paid for season tickets expecting him to play to feel a bit upset.
the reality is that this is such a small amount that it barely registers in any real sport journalism here in new york, as far as i have read and seen.

Wow, Mix Diskerud is his real name? It's sounds like something out of a Philip K. Dick novel.

Mix is his nickname. His real name, Mikkel Morgenstar Pålssønn Diskerud, sounds even more science-fictional!

He's real? When I got the email from NYCFC, I thought they'd been hacked.
